Is first-time penalty abatement a benefit you can use only once? I break down a CPA's claim, explain the three-year compliance-history test, and compare paying a penalty, leaving it unpaid, and having it removed through FTA. We also cover why reasonable-cause relief is different and how a penalty year eventually falls outside the lookback.
The 2025–2029 examples illustrate FTA with Automatic Exemption from Penalty (AEP) set aside. The video also briefly notes the transition to AEP; eligibility depends on the return, penalty and account history.
